About us
LYC is dedicated to raising voices and shaping lives. Through our citywide community of choirs and free school programmes we bring young people together to find their voice, develop their musical skills, and experience the joy, connection and opportunities that singing can bring.
Our singers take on the challenge of a rich classical repertoire as well as exploring diverse contemporary styles. Our approach is intentionally inclusive, with a particular commitment to improving access for disadvantaged young people, supporting them in finding their unique voice and enabling them to thrive through music, and ultimately changing who appears on the concert stage.
Since 2012, 15,000 young singers have sung with us in our 10 choirs, schools, and community projects. With the help of our supporters, LYC has subsidised every place and provided free or partially free places, ensuring equitable access to all. We have provided help with forms, free concert tickets for families, concert uniforms and travel passes.
In May 2025, LYC launched LYC Voices, a new commercial trading arm. LYC Voices recruits from our current and former members to provide a diverse pool of young vocal talent to the UK's professional performance industries, including films, commercials, gaming soundtracks, and large events. This innovative venture not only showcases our musical excellence but also provides performance opportunities for our young singers, having already achieved success in a number of high profile ventures including Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy and singing the soundtrack for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.
